[3:3]  ¹ tc Heb “I ate,” a first common singular preterite plus paragogic he (ה). The ancient versions read “I ate it,” which is certainly the meaning in the context, and indicates they read the he as a third feminine singular pronominal suffix. The Masoretes typically wrote a mappiq in the he for the pronominal suffix but apparently missed this one.

[11:1]  ² tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

[11:1]  ³ sn The phrase officials of the people occurs in Neh 11:1; 1 Chr 21:2; 2 Chr 24:23.

[11:13]  ³ tc The LXX reads this statement as a question. Compare this to the question in 9:8. It is possible that the interrogative particle has been omitted by haplography. However, an exclamatory statement as in the MT also makes sense and the LXX may have simply tried to harmonize this passage with 9:8.

[12:7]  ⁴ tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.

[14:11]  ⁵ sn I will be their God. See Exod 6:7; Lev 26:12; Jer 7:23; 11:4.

[21:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “caused to be remembered.”

[21:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “Because you have brought to remembrance your guilt when your transgressions are uncovered so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds – because you are remembered, by the hand you will be seized.”

[33:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “turn from his way.”

[33:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “ways.” This same word is translated “behavior” earlier in the verse.

[33:22]  ⁸ tn The other occurrences of the phrase “the hand of the Lord” in Ezekiel are in the context of prophetic visions.

[33:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “by the time of the arrival to me.” For clarity the translation specifies the refugee as the one who arrived.

[33:22]  ¹¹ sn Ezekiel’s God-imposed muteness was lifted (see 3:26).
